Problem by plotting a force on a MESH plate

Hi Borja,

ForceRecorder should probably help you [1], there is
an example [2] (but commented out),

Yeah, exactly that is what i needed! I was able to create a text document that contains the force in x,y and z dirección at each given iteration. I tríed to call for the data from inside yade in order to plot it With the plot() function, but wasn't able to do it. Is it possible to do that, and if it is, how should it be done?

totalForce returns you the resulting force as Vector3, so you
can plot any of its components. So, if you have something like:

ForceRecorder(ids=rod,file='force-'+mesh+'.dat',iterPeriod=50,label='ForceRec')

ForceRec.totalForce will contain values of force. You can plot it of course.

Cheers

Anton
